"Nights in White Satin" is a song by the Moody
Blues, written and composed by Justin Hayward. It was first featured as the
segment "The Night" on the album “Days of Future Passed”. When first
released as a single in 1967, it reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart and
number 103 in the United States in 1968. It was the first significant chart
entry by the band since "Go Now" and its recent lineup change, in
which Denny Laine and Clint Warwick had resigned and both Hayward and John
Lodge had joined.
When reissued in 1972, in the United States the single hit number two – for two weeks – on the Billboard Hot 100 (behind "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash) and hit number one on the Cash Box Top 100. It earned a gold certification for sales of over a million U.S. copies. It also hit number one in Canada. After two weeks at #2, it was replaced by "I'd Love You to Want Me" by Lobo. The song again charted in the UK in 1979 reaching number 14.
The song charted again in 2010, reaching number 51 in the British Official Singles Charts.
